Two years ago, researcher Steve Seitz created a new 3D computer vision group in Google's Seattle office. In this program, he discusses what the group has been up to, including Picasa face movies, MapsGL, and our newest feature called Photo Tours. Much of the work has been directly inspired by research from my students, postdocs, and collaborators at the UW CSE GRAIL lab. Similarly, many of these people have helped develop these ideas into products at Google. Along the way, Seitz shares a story of crossing the bridge between research and industry, and some of the interesting challenges that faced in helping to conceive and build the next generation of Google Maps.
